Summary:
Glucosylation of cytokinins is a well recognized modification that is thought to play an important role in hormonal homeostasis. Several types of cytokinins conjugation exist which render cytokinins inactive: O-xylosylation, O-glucosylation, and N-glucosylation. When plants are subjected to high levels of cytokinin application, the major conjugate that forms is the 7-N-glucoside (see cytokinins 7-N-glucoside biosynthesis) [Hou04]. Moreover, unlike O-glucosides, the glucosylation of which is reversible through the action of glucosidases, 7-N- and 9-N-glucosides are resistant to glucosidases [Brzobohaty93]. This, taken with N-glucosides accumulation in plant subjected to high doses of cytokinins, has led to the suggestion that N-glucosylation is involved in detoxification [Hou04]. It is not yet known whether glucosylation at position 9-N plays a specific role or whether it is merely a byproduct of the 7-N-glucosylation.
